Ingredients

• 4 pieces fresh white fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)
• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 tablespoons olive oil or coconut oil
• 0 for serving lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Rinse and pat dry the white fish fillets with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the spices.

Step 3

In another shallow dish, whisk together the egg and heavy cream until fully combined.

Step 4

Dip each fish fillet into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess to drip off.

Step 5

Transfer the fish fillet to the almond flour mixture. Coat each side thoroughly, pressing down gently to ensure the mixture adheres to the fish.

Step 6

Heat the olive oil or coconut oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 7

Once the oil is hot, carefully add the breaded fish fillets to the pan. Cook each side for about 4-5 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Step 8

If necessary, work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, adding more oil as needed.

Step 9

Transfer the cooked fish to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 10

Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a burst of freshness.
